I have a friend who's name is John Williams and John is 16 and has always been in trouble at school. He is fun to be around, but has become very angry lately. Everyone at school know he gets "High" before school. His mom drinks all the time and his dad left years ago. John placed himself in rehab last week.

Could you guys please write a letter to him and tell him what kind of problems he may face when he leaves rehab. Also, please do not forget to include some ways that you will provide some support for him.

You can post the letter here in this thread and i'll pass your kind words to my friend. - Thank you.

Good luck to you John. It is not an easy road, but it is one that you can follow. My big thing was I had to stay away from the old friends that are still using. The temptation can be to great. Go to NA meetings. FInd a good support friend that you can call anytime.
